2 Timothy2:1-4 said:More historical revisionism I see. He was impeached and disbarred for perjury and obstruction of Justice. And this investigation was approved by Janet Reno. Nothing right about her.
BaptistBeliever said:His really were major crimes compared to what Bush has done. Please put this in perspective. Clinton was hounded by the far right since before he took office.
2 Timothy2:1-4 said:You were they one who brought up the Clintons. Now you try a redirect when your implication falls apart.
Amazing that you give GWB credit to be able to destroy the markets. Now tell me why he would do that.BaptistBeliever said:The implication didn't fall apart or at the least you didn't provide any evidence it did. Bush is the worst President in American history. Don't think so now? Wait until after the stock market crash that he caused occurs within the next two months.

this may have something to do with the Dow's dip:

Savvy veteran investor Mike Holland keeps asking a question that no one seems to be asking, much less answering: Why in the world did the SEC revoke the “uptick” rule in early July?
Famous short seller and patriarch of the Kennedy clan, Joe Kennedy, created the uptick rule over seventy years ago during his tenure as FDR’s first SEC chairman. While many likened Kennedy’s stint to a fox guarding the hen house, Kennedy certainly knew how to stop the bear raiders from trashing the stock market.
The uptick rule was put into place forbidding traders from shorting stocks on a price downtick. Until last month, if you wanted to short a stock, you needed to wait for an uptick in the share price. This move stymied potential bear raids on stocks. It worked for over seven decades. Many Wall Street veterans also believe it dramatically reduced stock market volatility.
In today’s context, is it purely a coincidence that Chris Cox’s new SEC “no uptick” rule made its debut at the same time that stock market volatility has gone gangbusters? Are hedge fund traders shorting stocks on down ticks? This could be adding huge momentum to downsized price movement. It could also be putting ordinary mom and pops investors on Main Street at great risk to the machinations of Wall Street professionals.
Nobody knows for sure what’s going on here. I’d like to get some comments on this. Meanwhile, I’m still looking for more info on this whole point.
But it seems to me that abolishing the uptick rule was an unbelievably lousy idea by Cox’s SEC. It appears the rule’s revocation may have exaggerated downside pressure on the stock market.
BaptistBeliever said:It didn't fall apart. You simply said that it did like a good radical rightest.
Not a radical rightest, but a panderer of George Bush and making excuses for his policies. It is called a Christian participating in a pseudo debate between democrats and republicans. It is called a Christian supporting pure evil over another pure evil. It has nothing to do with left and right, it has to do with recognizing a Godly leader.2 Timothy2:1-4 said:Is that it. Thats all you got. I am a radical rightest. Come on you can do better than that surely.
